《Afterthought》歌词

[00:00:00] Afterthought - Conor Oberst

[00:00:00] Written by：Conor Oberst

[00:00:01] I woke up this mornin' still wearin' that tie

[00:00:05] The one with the hammer and sickle design

[00:00:09] Threw up all the pills my doctor prescribed

[00:00:13] And went out to fetch me some air

[00:00:18] The streets were so crowded with billboards and signs

[00:00:21] Food trucks double parked in their parallel lines

[00:00:25] I thought about breakfast but settled on wine

[00:00:30] Always choose hunger over despair

[00:00:34] And what's possible over what's there

[00:00:38] But it isn't as though we get what we want

[00:00:42] No matter how hard or long we have fought

[00:00:46] Oh my happiness is a mere afterthought

[00:00:50] When I'm with her I keep it in mind

[00:00:54] Then she leaves and I've run out of time

[00:01:05] I sat down today in a high barber's chair

[00:01:09] To hear the town gossip and clean up my hair

[00:01:13] He said she was seen on the bus station stairs

[00:01:17] With her suitcase threatenin' to walk

[00:01:21] Not sure how true it was but I'll hazard a guess

[00:01:26] It's probably not more and it's probably not less

[00:01:30] If that college kid bookie was accepting bets

[00:01:34] The brackets would mostly be chalk

[00:01:38] Yeah it's safe to assume that she's lost

[00:01:42] But it isn't as though we get what we want

[00:01:46] No matter how hard or long we have fought

[00:01:51] Oh my happiness is a mere afterthought

[00:01:55] When I'm with her I keep it in mind

[00:01:59] Then she's gone and I've run out of time

[00:02:12] I can't be concerned with the state that I'm in

[00:02:16] At the height of the scandal with vertigo spins

[00:02:20] Take every audition til I'm Errol Flynn

[00:02:24] And bring it to life off the page

[00:02:28] And I'll get up tomorrow still wearin' that tie

[00:02:32] The one with the skull and the cross bone designs

[00:02:37] If I'm asked if I miss her it's easy to lie

[00:02:41] In this world that's called more of the same

[00:02:45] Yeah I wouldn't feel proud or ashamed

[00:02:49] Cuz it isn't as though we get what we want

[00:02:53] No matter how hard or long we have fought

[00:02:57] Oh my happiness is a mere afterthought

[00:03:01] When I'm with her I keep it in mind

[00:03:06] Then she leaves and I've run out of time
